Why Make A Complaint?

This HMO development is being developed illegally without any planning permissions and features a beds-in-sheds outbuilding that beaches all planning and building regulations.

Between the main house and the outbuilding under construction this HMO could accommodate at least 14 adults based on two adults to each room. Illegal HMOs can easily exceed this with mattresses over every available inch of floor space.

We already have an HMO operating on the corner of Raynton Close (Ref# 32247).

Given the recent stabbing in North Hillington (October 2025) stemming from a fight between residents of a HMO, this development puts the residents and local school children at risk.
